Recaps

This blog will be a big recap since I never updated last week...I totally forgot.

Last Friday night Matt and I had dinner with our pastor, who officially will be doing our wedding. Matt had me sweating bullets when I realized he had never told Pastor Hubbard our date, who thought we were getting married sometime in 2014, and who had 4 weddings already lined up for this summer...thankfully our weekend falls between two others. Phew.

Saturday morning mom, dad, Meg, and McKenzie came into town. Matt and dad went and played golf while my sister went with me to my eye appointment (afterwards I literally couldn't see anything up close for 2 hours). I had lunch with mom, Meg, and Mckenzie and then we hit up the outlets for awhile since it was so cold and windy outside. Saturday evening Matt and I had dinner (at Truffles) with Craig, Molly, Scott, Megan, and a client and his wife....the dinner lasted almost 4 hours and I was more than ready to get back home. Meg ended up waking up when I got home so we stayed up and chatted for awhile before crashing.

Sunday morning we all got up and took our time getting ready before meeting up with Matt and heading over to Honey Horn to show them the wedding site. It was nice to get their opinions on where stuff should be set up. We had lunch at Guiseppi's then headed back out to the outlets so my dad could look around. They headed back to Augusta shortly after.

This work week went by rather quickly since it was only a 4-day week and before I knew it, it was Friday! Matt and I took off for Nashville around 8:30 Friday morning for my birthday weekend, and our last chance for some quality time before May hits- and our calendars are busyyyyy. It took us 8 hours to get there, and during that car ride we decided we wouldn't be going back...as long as I ran a sub-2 hour half, which I had yet to do in Nashville. We got there around 5ish, checked into the hotel, and walked over to the expo. I love walking cities, by the way. It's so fun to be able to leave the hotel on foot and explore without worrying about traffic and parking! Plus walking makes me happy :) After we finished up at the expo we walked up and down Broadway in search of dinner, which ended up being BBQ nachos at a very loud bar...but the music was really good, and the food wasn't bad. We had dessert at Savannah Sweets; Matt got ice cream and I got caramel popcorn (weird I didn't get ice cream, but this popcorn was legit), then we hiked it back up to the hotel and crashed relatively early. Saturday morning it was rainy, windy, and colddddd. We walked the 1.5 miles to the start line and started right around 7:15...the rain never ever let up!! I forget every year how incredibly hilly Nashville is, but I won't forget again!! My ankle/foot held up and I finished 13.49 miles (a half is only supposed to be 13.1) in 1:59:22...so I met my goal and we won't be going back...wahoo! We drove back the same day so we could go to church this morning and have some quality time with Macie too.

Church this morning was great and I'm really, really loving the pastor there. I feel like this will become our church home once we're married and get settled. Lunch at Giuseppi's (yes we love this place too), then a 3.27 mile walk with Macie, who is still exhausted. My grocery shopping and laundry is done- now time to tackle cleaning the bathroom...my least favorite place to clean!

Next weekend the boys will be on their camping trip, so mom, Meg, and McKenzie are coming to stay with me- YAY!!
